<TITLE>06. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 That's the way... the women is supposed to wear long hair because of the--of her head, which is her husband. He's to have short hair because of Christ. The woman wears long hair because of the angels.
What is the angels? The messenger, a true messenger to the church. That's right. He will always call it down and say it's wrong (See?), and so forth. And the church, to be so yielded to Jesus that it don't claim its own head, its own headship. Christ is the Headship of the church: veiled, we're not our own, but we're His, yielded to Him and Him alone. How beautiful.

L-27 Let's read a little Scripture now. I always like to read His Word, because my word's a man's word. It'll fail. But that's God. It cannot fail. It can never fail. This Scripture is found over in the 7th chapter of Luke, beginning with the 36th verse.
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus set at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and begin to wash his feet with the tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointing them with the ointment.
But... the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet...
Let me read that again. Now, listen real close.
And when the Pharisee which did bid him saw it,... spake within himself, saying, If this man--This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that touched him: for she is a sinner.
And Jesus answered said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he said, Master, say on.
If I was going to give this a title, I'd call it "The Meanest Man in Sante Ro--Santa Ana--Santa Maria" There's so many Sante--Santa--Santa up and down here. I get them all mixed up. what does it mean? Saint? [Someone replies, "Saint Mary"--Ed.] Saint Mary.

L-28 Well, he must've been awfully tired, when he just reached the top of the hill to look over towards Galilee; been running all day long, and he--his legs were sticky with perspiration. His face was streaked where it'd come down his face. His clothes were wet and sticky as he looked down, and he sighed a breath. He saw a great multitude standing around Somebody. He thought, "Surely, this is that person."
See, he'd went to Capernaum. He'd asked, city after city, "Is such-and-such a man been here that heals the sick and is called a prophet of--of Galilee?"
Someone might've said, "Yes, He was here day before yesterday. But we wist not where He has gone, because He has moved out, and many of the city has gone after Him." Many reports for and against Him...

L-29 Over to another city he would go. And he would say, "Has such-and-such a man been here who heals the sick, and--and prophesies, and knows the secrets of the heart? Such-and-such a man like this?"
"Yes, He was here only yesterday, but He's gone. I know not whence He is and whence He's gone." And on, and on, the story kept going on. And finally...
See, he was a courier. He was sent by his master, a Pharisee, a bishop, a hierarchy of the church to take a message. And he had finally could sigh a breath of relief, because he had seen the Man in the distance that he was to deliver the message to. Now, the message was very important, because the priest had sent him, the Pharisee. And it was very important that he met this Man. He was detailed to do this, and he must get to this man. And that was the greatest thing of his life, is to carry out a message for this priest, to get to Jesus of Nazareth.
